2019 Ford Edge Tires & Wheels Problems

The tire had complete tread separation or delamination. It almost caused me to wreck.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while changing the lug nuts on the wheels, the contact became aware that the lug nuts were swollen. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was determined that the lug nuts needed to be replaced due to the outer shells being swollen. The dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts were defective due to the swelling, which caused the lug nuts to no longer fit the studs properly. The contact stated that the failure was a known issue. The lug nuts were replaced with solid steel lug nuts without caps. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Scheduled tire rotation with Ford. Unable to complete because of lug nuts swelling which Ford is aware of. My lug wrench does not fit. I now have to spend $200.00 to replace all lug nuts on a 2019 Ford Edge. This should be a recall issue and at least a safety issue. To be stranded on the road only to find out the lug wrench doesn't fit anymore

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge equipped with Bridgestone Tires, Tire Line: Alenza Ultra A/S, Tire Size, 245/60/R18, DOT Number: AW283AAUl. The contact stated that while making a left or right turn, the contact heard an abnormal popping sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the tires had dry rotted and were cracking. In addition, the contact was informed that the failure caused the tires to slip and skid on the road surface while turning left or right. The contact was advised that the tires needed to be replaced. The tires were purchased from Cosco in October 2022. The mileage guarantee for the tires was 80,000. Cosco was contacted and made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed that a partial refund would be prorated for the tires. The contact was informed that if the first option was not accepted, the tires could be replaced with a different brand, and the contact would be responsible for the remaining balance after the partial refund. The contact declined both offers. The contact stated that he had been sold defective tires and should be fully refunded. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 80,000, and the tire failure mileage was 40,000.

I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchase the Ford brand or an aftermarket brand. There is no guarantee that the lug nuts may not have to be purchased again because of this issue. If this is a true safety issue, this is on you, Ford! Keep your customers safe and have a RECALL on lug nuts and not make me pay for your mistake!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge equipped with Pirelli Tires, Tire Line: Scorpion Verde Offseason, Tire Size: 245/50/R20, DOT Number: UNKCR7290519. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to remove the wheels. The contact was informed that the lug nuts were swollen and needed to be replaced. The lug nuts were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 19,100.

I took my vehicle in for oil change and tire rotation and was told that the tire rotation could not be done due to “swelled lug nuts”.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer being serviced, the contact was informed that the lug nuts were swollen and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,982.

Ford dealership told me my 2019 Ford Edge has swollen lug nuts. It would cost me $197.00 to have them replaced. Vehicle has almost 61,000 miles. Declined to have them replaced because the service department removed one lug nut and it looked very good.

Ford tells me the Lug nuts on my car's tires have become loose, expanded. My car has only 31k miles. Yet, these faulty parts make it at risk of tires flying off while driving!! Ford wants to charge me to replace their faulty nuts. That's nuts!

I just brought my car in to my Ford dealership to have an oil change and tires rotated. They are the only ones that service my car. I was told they could not rotate my tires as my lug nuts were swollen. I'm told that the extended warranty that I bought from Ford will not cover that. Now I'm going to be out 110.00 or they won't rotate my tires and was told that I may not be able to get my tire off if I get a flat.

Went to get brakes replaced and found out the lug nuts were jammed on and could not be removed, took it to the deal to find out they were swollen on and no one would have been able to remove them but them! They stated they see it all the time if I had a flat no one would have gotten them off it would have had to towed! To me this is a safety hazard that could leave me stranded. They said this was comment I called ford they would not acknowledge it

When obtaining a tire rotation at the Ford Dealership, I was told that I had swollen lug nuts and for safety reasons should be replaced. I never had a vehicle with this problem. To replace all the lug nuts, it was a cost to me of $259.20. This is a manufacturer defect that should have been covered under my extended warranty but was not. I was told that the lug nuts could seize and not be able to be removed if I needed to change my tire. This in my opinion is a safety concern and should be addressed.

The lug nuts have swelled on all of the wheels of my Ford Edge. The lug nut wrench that Ford included with the vehicle is now unusable because it will not fit the lug nuts. This becomes a safety issue because my wife and I can no longer change a flat tire on her vehicle. We sometimes drive in areas with little or no lighting. It is also a financial issue because I will have to hire a tow truck company to replace the flat tire and then purchase new lug nuts to make the vehicle safe. I understand this is a wide spread problem with Ford vehicles. I can’t believe the government has not made Ford do a recall on these lug nuts. I guess once again big industry gets preferential treatment over the safety of the citizens.

The Edge was taken in for routine service at 24,920 miles. I was informed that brake inspection and tire rotation could not be performed unless I purchased new lug nuts at an additional cost of $201. This was due to "SWOLLEN" LUG NUTS which apparently is not uncommon and is still being ignored by Ford.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while performing routine maintenance to the passenger’s side rear tire, the lug tool provided with the vehicle was unable to fit the lug nuts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the lug nuts had expanded. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,000.

When at the dealer for an oil change and tire rotation I was informed the dealer could not rotate tires because the lugnuts were bad and needed replacing. I stated our 2011 Ford Edge had the same issue. The manager said that ford has an issue with the lugnuts for several years. It cost me $172.80 for the new lugnuts AND I had to make another appointment because they did' nt have any in stock.

We were informed that the lug nuts on our wheels were swollen and distorted. They suggested getting them replaced.

The lug nuts are swollen up and the lug wrench that came with the vehicle. Had the tires rotated at a Firestone Service center and the service Tech said he couldn't get the 22mm socket to fit. I search this problem and found there is a problem with the two piece lug nuts swelling up.

Went to Stevens 112 Ford for Oil Change and “The Works”. Service man came out to tell me the lug nuts were swollen and they couldn’t rotate tires without destroying the lug nuts. It was advised to me, it would cost me $519.00 plus tax to replace the lug nuts. I advised the service man not to perform the task, as I was not getting billed that exorbitant charge for lug nuts that are not very old. There is obviously something terribly wrong with the way these lug nuts are designed and manufactured. I have never experienced this type of issue in the past on any of my Ford vehicles. FORD NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE AND RECALL THE PRODUCT.
